Ratings and reviews

I'm a premium subscriber. There is only one game, which is really just a multiple choice quiz. It would be more useful if the quiz was customizable to focus on one topic or my collections. It would be helpful if my collections were easier to edit (e.g., moving words from one collection to another or renaming collections). Fipping through words and their definitions and working through easy multiple choice "games" is not an effective way for me to learn.

I thought the high ratings and popularity meant this was a great vocabulary app. Well, if you're in high school, perhaps, but certainly not if you completed any higher education. At first I liked it enough to pay for it and it's nice that you can select categories and levels, but in an attempt to stop getting words like "absent" (you learn this in elementary school!), I eventually only had expert words selected and still kept getting very basic vocabulary served. I gave up and uninstalled it.

i don't understand how they pick the words, but it doesn't feel helpful. why would they pick the word "off" when I checked the advanced vocabulary box? I'm just trying the free version, but so far, not something I would pay for. I was hoping for interesting words I could actually make use of. Seems like it is just dictionary roulette, instead of thoughtful content.
